We have been cultivating tradition and
modernity since 1874 in order to express the wonders that nature offers us.

My credo: to express the
terroir and demonstrate that Champagne is not just the international brands, but that it is, above all, a unique and diverse wine region.

Philippe Secondé

Quite a history

1873:Edmond BARNAUTmarried Apolline
GODMÉ-BARANCOURT from a very old wine growing family in Bouzy.

1874:A vineyard owner and wine broker, Edmond decided to do for himself,
what he had hitherto been doing for well-knownnégociantsin Reims and Epernay: he produced hisfirst
bottlesfrom hisvineyards and created his own brand.

Almosta century and a
halflater,the fifth generation,in the form ofPhilippe and Laurette Secondé,perpetuate the philosophy of the founder: to reveal the riches that nature offers in this superb Grand Cru domaine.

The classification of the crus
was established in the 18th century and, in 1911, was formalized by the Champagne producers to allow them to classify their production.It identifies 320 Champagne wine villages
(crus).Only 17 are classified as “Grand Cru” and these include BOUZY.They represent less than 4,500 hectares of the total
33,700 ha under production.

Thus, in these outstanding
vineyards, where each plot is worked with the greatest respect for nature,
where the family has its roots, and where each bottle ages for several years,
the story of one of the first grower-producers continues today.
